Bleeding Velvet is where desire dresses in black. An upscale-meets-dive-bar night for goths, emos, vamps, romantics, and the beautifully unwell. Every month, we gather for live music, moonlit rituals, wicked karaoke, and a sexy social that ends in smeared lipstick and new obsessions.

Welcome to The Moonlit Mic, the karaoke soul of Bleeding Velvet. Long before Bleeding Velvet ever pulsed in Miami, there were whispers of a microphone — ancient, strange, and eerily responsive to human grief. It was first documented in 1919 in a forgotten Berlin cabaret, where a performer sang a lullaby so haunting the audience remained paralyzed for hours. The mic vanished that night. Decades later, it resurfaced in fragments in Miami.
